I’ve been moving my furniture around the apartment. I used to have my compooper out in the main room, but I moved it into my bedroom onto the desk that I had been using for dolls and photos. Now my former doll desk is my compooper desk. The table that once held compooper now holds creative projects. I also ejected a large brown bookcase that stood on the bedroom floor in favor of shelves in the deep windowsill. And there are some new 1:6 scale sets for my dolls to enjoy!

I used to have just my dolls hanging out on shelves, talking to each other so that they wouldn’t get bored. Back in February of this year, though, I realized that I also had lots of nifty furniture, props, accessories, etc., that languished in storage. I could arrange them into vignettes for my dolls so they could do activities besides talking! Below are overviews of each scene, then detail shots.

Technically this should really be A good complement of my dolls, excluding those who are in pieces and the one that I’ve hidden because I really don’t like it and can’t sell it, but All my dolls has a better ring to it. Continue reading All my dolls, 02/16/2016

I have a new means of taking my sporadic censuses of the small populations. Instead of shooting new photos for each census, I just spent many hours taking full-length and bust-length portraits of everyone. I will use these portraits for my censuses as long as each doll’s look remains constant. If significant change occurs, such as a new faceup, wig, body or doll altogether for the same character, I will update the portrait. However, since most of my dolls stabilize with a single form over time, I plan to reuse lots of these portraits. Here we go!

It’s been about a month and a half since my last census, and things have changed yet again, mostly in the active populations at my house. I’m reusing photos from the last census for everyone except the "out and about" crew at home.Continue reading All my dolls, 07/07/2013

As I sorted through old photo albums recently, I discovered pictures from my first 1:6 scale populations! Unfortunately, the photos were taken on film with a camera that didn’t do closeups well. However, for the sake of historical curiosity, I have scanned the best ones and annotated them.

Stupid dolls…they keep moving around. :p No pictures this time, just a handy dandy numbered list with some stats.

The Name column is self-explanatory. I included Angel Bear and the Hillman Minx, even though they are not dolls, because I included them in my latest doll census.

As for Scale/Type, the scale is also obvious, but, for non-dolls, as well as dolls that are not either 1:6 or 1:3 scale, I made a note of the type of toy.

The Universe column explains who a doll interacts with. "Display" means that the dolls don’t interact with anyone; they just sit there, looking pretty. "LHF" means Love Has Fangs. "M3" means Me and My Muses. "Mine" means those characters that mouth off directly to me. :p And "Zville" means Zombieville.

The M/F/GQ/n/a refers to a character’s gender identification. "M" is for male, "F" for female, "GQ" for genderqueer, "n/a" for "irrelevant/unassigned." Binary-identified trans characters [Andrew, Carter, Marabou, MacKenzie] are not flagged here because "trans" is not a gender identification for them. Continue reading All my dolls, 12/19/2012: because it’s changed again!

I haven’t taken a census of my small-scale populations in years. The last one I completed was at the end of August, 2010, which is eons in doll time. Since then, I’ve moved house and kept over half of my peoples in storage, much to my dismay, so I haven’t been able to survey everyone.

Tomorrow, though, I’m rescuing everyone from storage at my parents’ house and moving them to my office, just so I can get to them easily without taking a 25-minute drive one way to see them. In preparation for the reunion of doll subgroups, I started an inventory tonight of those peoples who are out and about.Continue reading All my dolls, 12/15/2012, part 1: out and about

Here are my shelves, desk, dolls and sets as of today in my new apartment. I take photos in the lefthand corner of my desk, where Ebru and Sophie are standing in front of a starry background. I put my dolls on the top shelves to the right of my desk, while parts of sets are stored below.Continue reading My current desk and shelf set-up
